Your user name is in danger

[the Ferret]

you know it's interesting, but one of the jobs of a moderator is to check on members who want to join and see which ones are spam. You'd think that some nicknames would be dead giveaways, and they are ..example..R3giN47d47 a spammer trying to sell Ipad repairs (spammers are not that creative), but often ordinary nicknames will fool ya. You think that a clue in their nickname would be a clue to what country they are from or what part of this country they are from...but some are real foolers. For example someone that joined a few days ago KenCal01 in his nickname and I'm thinking Ken from California, but when I checked, actually he was from Virginia. Bronco Billy I figured was from Texas or Denver but no he was from Florida. Svending I figured was from a Nordic country like Norway or Switzerland but no he was from Taiwan. gone2vegas is from Arizona, but RCastoWV is indeed from West Virginia. Go figure lol.

nicknames are funny things,often with meaning in them, and often not. At least that I can tell.
